New Jersey TRANSIT will be providing extra train service to and from the city to accommodate parade-goers. The extra trains will run on the Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast Line, Morris and Essex and Port Jervis lines.

If you are planning on attending the parade, here are some helpful tips and tricks:

Check mta.info to get the latest information on public transportation in New York City.

Bathrooms. The best public bathrooms are in Bryant Park, only two blocks from the beginning of the parade, otherwise be observant of restaurants and hotels, especially if you are standing in more northern area.

Make sure to hold your child’s hand. The streets will be busy, so stick together. You’ll need to walk fast and maneuver to keep up with the event.

Pack snacks. New York City certainly can be expensive, so packing snacks will help your budget. If you must buy on-site, I recommend venturing into Central Park for some easy-to-carry options.
